[@kgmyatthu3171]

I came here for the lightroom, end up searching for lock picking tutorial..

[@kathreenr6008]

Samedt😅

[@iamsamuelaboki]

😀

[@TravelingBarilisonsSociety]

Kaung Myat Thu same hahaha

[@youarehere1251]

You really believe he picked the lock? The magic of video editing.

[@ParkerUAS]

@@youarehere1251 , it is a Master Lock. Most are picked with a simple raking attack. Search out Lock Picking Lawyer for more demos.

[@zacharykonecki4236]

About 6-7 months ago I stumbled onto this video, loved the energy and enthusiasm, started watching more of Pete's videos, and now I'm making photography my full-time career and starting a KZbin channel. This dude is an inspiration. 10/10, would be inspired again, 2019 style ;)

[@loopy3207]

Zachary Konecki this is my first of Petes videos. I decided to jump back into photography , I haven’t done this since gcse 👀 I have been using Lightroom for a week now. So amazing and I can’t wait to dive in to my dream.

[@earthandus1]

😎

[@tumpelo22]

Same here! Except I became a professional burglar

[@notnotapipe496]

Don Mega does commenting this make you feel better about yourself?

[@kaiseranowar]

why did you stop making videos?

[@dwbaker63]

FYI: The Angle adjustment, that you showed for a horizon, can be used vertically too. I use it this way a lot, as I shoot in studio frequently. So I'll pick an object or a corner of the room, or a pattern in the bricks that I know should be vertically straight, and it works just like it does horizontally. Very effective tool. Thanks for the entertaining tutorials! Keep it up!

[@AdzyRedmond7]

Lock picking tutorial is the one we are all waiting for haha

[@JohannesLilover]

Adam Redmond same

[@Epicandronn]

Yes we need it lmao

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Lock picking tutorials is my specialty, if you'd like any pointers feel free to ask. I'd love to see Peter McKinnon open some more interesting locks!

[@adam_g.]

are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@Epicandronn]

HelpfulLockPicker you just got a new sub ay

[@annabmartin]

Peter makes 15 minutes go by in what feels like 5 minutes. That's how awesome you and your videos are!

[@mattnorris7124]

I'm not 100% sure how I found Peter McKinnon, I don't do photography but after having watched 1 video, I've ended up in a spiral of watching many of them back to back because they're really enjoyable and he makes photography and editing sound really fun and interesting which has made me want to start doing it. He really knows how to make videos and brings great energy on camera which makes him really easy to watch and pay attention to.

[@mrterry1756]

Also, he explains in 15 minutes what I learned in 2 years (of self-taught learning)

[@InappropriateShorts]

Especially when you watch it on 2x

[@BillAnt]

And if you're a "slow lerner" then you may want to try 0.5x speed. The sound will be pretty funky. xD

[@paulgreen758]

Thank you, I’m a old man, trying to get the best out of my photography, I’ve only converted from film 6 years ago, I got lightroom 3 but it was basic compared to CC and I thank you for helping me out, I watched this video for about 8 hours to edit one shot, I’m slow now and find learning hard, but I learnt more in the last day or so than in the last 5 years, I thank you again

[@AlphaApache]

i'M SURE THAT I'M NOT THE ONE COMING BACK BECAUSE I ALWAYS FORGET THE SHORTCUTS SO... 1 - Auto Tone 1:54 2 - Resetting 2:46 3 - Grid Overlays 3:44 4 - Lights Out 5:34 5 - Level Out 6:32 6 - B&A 7:30 7 - Clipping 8:50 8 - Radial Brush Adjustment 10:08 9 - Size Up 12:13 10 - Organize Yo Self ! 13:00 You're Welcome ♥ Thanks for those tips @PeterMckinnon

[@ChristopherFranko]

you are the real nmvp

[@markjosephbanuelos8780]

Thanks bro!

[@aleeshababer6256]

As a software engineer watching this: I'm in awe of the people who made LightRoom/photoshop, softwares we spend a good amount of time watching tutorials on!!! It's like a pyramid. A hidden feature under EVERY button 😍

[@MrFitzy120191]

Thumbs up just for the picking of the lock. Awesome tutorial as always.

[@adam_g.]

Andrew Fitzgerald are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@Zigfryed]

Obviously you are a person that is not that smart, as you don't need "professional" tools to pick, and you can always use "less professional" tools if they fit best the circumstance. The tool does not define the professional, his ability does.

[@Colinsskul4]

Omg I can’t believe how helpful Lightroom has been for my business. I just learned that I can bulk edit and I can’t tell you how much time I have spent trying to find a faster way!!

[@hyphenjeff]

Watching the nicest guy in the world pick a lock like a champ then discard it wins the internet today.

[@beingarealballa]

The question is: when are we having two minute tutorials on lock picking?

[@hyphenjeff]

a buddy of mine bought a lockpicking kit and reversed the locks on his door and locked himself in his room until he learned... needles to say, a few hours later we called a locksmith.

[@beingarealballa]

haha, classic

[@sonipitts]

Canadian crimewave

[@adam_g.]

are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@NickImberyPhotography]

Dude, your teaching style is awesome. Between you and Mark Denney, Nick Page.... it makes this journey of learning photography so much more fun and interesting. It’s fun to learn from people you feel like you could hang out and have a beer with. Keep up the good work my man 👍

[@DaveMcKeegan]

As a follow up to point 4, you can hit "F" to bring your image up in full screen, then hit ESC to drop back

[@novelafilmacademy]

The quality of this video and your generosity are mind-blowing! Highly recommend this perfectly explained

[@OneFocusPhotos]

Didn't know over half of these! Thanks so much!! Would love to see this kind of video for premiere pro ;)

[@elliieebit]

Shoutout to Peter for making me less dumb when using Lightroom.

[@CuriosityCulture]

Your old background. ❤️ I missed it so much

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Didn't we all!

[@CuriosityCulture]

:)

[@ParisBosserman]

Harshil Patel I did too, but I happy for the new studio. It’s got potential to be better than this one. Just takes time to piece it together.

[@JohnGrimsmo]

I had to double check the date on the video lol

[@ParisBosserman]

JohnGrimsmo I had the same thought. Lol

[@allengreene27]

Mind. Blown. I’ve been using LR Mobile for little over a year now. Never, ever having touched Classic. That’s just changed. Thank you!!

[@IAMGouravSaha]

And there you have it... McKinnon tutorials of lightroom.. Again awesome as always!!!

[@hectorsherry585]

was the dopest intro i've seen for a while, swear peter can do so many random sick things

[@FinleysWorld]

Hector Sherry yeah was pretty interesting! Didn’t know it could be done that easy lol.

[@hectorsherry585]

QC Drone nah neither

[@adam_g.]

are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@allisonaliwahhaj]

wow pete you never fail to blow my mind ....

[@rcdeafmissionsmalaysia578]

This video was recommended to me on the side bar. Tip #3 seriously blew my mind! I take photographs for the company work for and I use Lightroom all the time. This is so helpful!

[@gotumilobi]

Love the energy and excitement in your vids!!! Keeps me hooked (and learning) instead of falling asleep while listing to some monotone dinosaur...

[@NickJamesonASMR]

Im in love with your intros. Its so amazing how you start you videos🔥

[@rollingtroll]

Good tips! You missed out on one of L's most epic features; Press L, then press R. Then change your crop. You can even move the whole cropped rectangle around. That way you don't have to 'imagine' what the crop will look like, you can actually see it right there, with nothing else on your screen but the finished crop, before you even hit enter. Worth while. You can also go R and then CTRL (or whatever that is on an Apple device), that way you instantly get the level angle thing going. You don't need to click the icon.

[@clementhumbert322]

I am starting photography and I will start soon using lightroom to edit my photos (as soon as I receive my computer!). Your tutorial is very useful to know all the basic and the short cuts that will make me gain so much time ! Thanks for your video !

[@kiafor]

thanx for your energy man! no matter what your video is about your energy elevates my mood! best wishes to you!

[@KenyattaDavisPhotography]

I should have just skipped university and saved 60K and enrolled in KZbinversity instead.

[@leniehulse1621]

Yep - everything I know about photography I learnt through youtube! My son calls me internet photographer! Lol

[@KM-bn7dg]

youre paying for a piece of paper, not an education. anyone can educate themselves if self motivated. not everyone has the qualifications to back up the knowledge. and thats all employers care about.

[@JessikaJay16]

Agree lol

[@aaronaatlas6206]

Haha! I know what you mean!

[@mgalasangpinoy297]

100% agree.

[@katie_the_lady]

*“Probably more than 2 minutes tutorial Tuesday”* 😂 at least you’re honest!

[@AljazMotionCut]

Thanks so much for sharing these tips, I'm comming from Photoshop and I've just become driven to use Lightroom in order to edit multiple pictures faster/better/more effiecient...mind blowing

[@smilewithmel]

Such quick and direct advice I love it! Would love to see a collaboration with you and Mango Street!

[@sanstripod]

Pete + Casey, my day just got better!!

[@codingmaster6321]

or alt click ( 3:32 ) or click C ( 7:50 ) also if you alt+slide a slider , it will show only the effected area of that slider ( AKA clipping ) ( 9:46 )

[@raultalukder]

Thanks for the tips Peter! I've been working with Lightroom for a while and didn't knew them.

[@jimmyelectric]

Comments section: 50% lock picking 50% KZbinversity

[@whomadethis3200]

49% Lockpicking 49% KZbinverity 2% Adressing comment section

[@Saltycures]

On tip #9, if you want to get super precise with your sliders without sacrificing the size of the image window, click and drag on the slider number on the right rather than the bar. It’s allows much more precise dragging of the sliders 👌🏼

[@Frostyfarmz]

Can we have a coffee tutorial next?

[@PeterMcKinnon]

I wonder if people would actually dig it lol

[@jomarch880]

Peter McKinnon ummm YES!

[@george_KC1TQF]

mmmmmm........coffee, of course we'd dig it

[@Frostyfarmz]

Peter McKinnon UMMMM YESSSSSS haha... then you can teach us how to take pictures of it

[@OILCOUNTRYCOLLECTIBLES]

YES

[@franciscomsosa]

Man, I slowed down that 6 to 7 card transition and it's astonishingly smooth.

[@joshandmeg7418]

Who else loves to learn Peters awesome tips???

[@doscocoslocos4229]

Us!

[@jackieseale6427]

This was the most badass intro I’ve ever seen in my whole life 😂

[@KylePickard]

This is one of the most informative videos I've watched for Lightroom tips. Thanks dude!

[@shiv5801]

Didn't know about Grid Overlays, Level out and organize yourself. Thanks a bunch!!

[@eddieandval733]

I don't even have Lightroom and still watched all 15:06 of this video.. you're incredible man!

[@sanaathegreat2324]

Eddie and Val same lol

[@buddyWalrus]

dont use lightroom either but i watched it b/c i want to stay at least somewhat up to date on the top editing software, in case i ever need to switch

[@scottievee7467]

Someone picked MY level 5 Master lock and took my camera shit. Just wondering where you were June 5th 2018? Like I said, just wondering.

[@holyoutcast2723]

😭😭

[@TJIzzy]

Maybe it's just me being nostalgic, but I like vids filmed in this room best lol

[@kimsonpro]

TJ Israelsen it has a very friendly, buddy feeling, much relaxing also.

[@JoaoSilva-ke2qi]

yeah... it's just you being nostalgic... ahah

[@arch410]

Oooh. Grid Overlay! I'm excited. I feel like such a nerd. Thanks for this tip!

[@DanielJonesParamotor]

Loved the sarcasm corrections in the intro, keep killin' it Pete

[@doscocoslocos4229]

Right? We were dying!

[@pasqualray1337]

Hey Peter. I watched this when it first came out and now I’m back in 2020. Great tips! Most of those tips have become muscle memory now. Thank you. Any chance of a 2020 (Lightroom and/or Photoshop) update? Take care and please continue making those inspirational videos.

[@altafshams2006]

Classic PM introduction makes it 🔥! Love the tips that makes me see Lightroom way more easier than before. Loving the " zoom in - zoom out " intro for each tip...💯...this video is #1 recommended!😍

[@ybasurf]

This is probably my favorite Lightroom tutorial video. Thanks Peter! This is great.

[@andreaporcello496]

Tip 9 - SIZEUP, You can click over the number of the customization and press key up or key down to move 1 by 1 the customization. It is so precise! Try!

[@McKinleyGriggs]

Lock picking skills on point! Who cares about the tutorial haha pick more locks.

[@AhmedKhelifi]

Lock picking tutorial better be coming next

[@cyborgreality]

I am pretty impressed

[@adam_g.]

are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@Zwei-SakuyaEo]

Adam G, you are judging someone's skills based on their tool?! what are you?! one those kinds of photographers??

[@Muhammed.Yaseen]

Adam G Why are you commenting the same thing everywhere???

[@JacekAdamczyk]

Tip from me: Use CAPS LOCK when rating, so you don't have to click the next picture, it will move to the next one for you. :)

[@Phototraveler1]

This was a fantastic tutorial and gives the viewer so many wonderful tips that every Lightroom user would certainly want to know. I’m so appreciative of learning these trade secrets fast instead of trying to figure it all out by myself. Lightroom isn’t that intuitive to begin with, but learning these 10 tips by Peter McKinnon makes the program feel so much more palatable and fun.

[@the_darkside_fpv]

Seriously I wish I could do an apprenticeship with you peter. I’ve been following you for a while and I can honestly say I can’t get enough of your knowledge. I just wish I was able to consume myself more with it via apprenticeship lol. I love all things videography, cinematography, and photography. You are the king fish in this industry and one hell of a person to learn from.

[@6Bright6Future6]

The double click reset man, love you for it!

[@zeetvisuals6587]

This is me literally attending my University classes, watching his Vids. Graduating this year:) Im a Master now in Graphics

[@Memkoh]

I'm teaching a Lightroom Class in 2 days, came across this video and thought why not see if there's a hack you can learn and share with your students. Took some notes but was mostly enamored by your personality throughout. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@thetalkingfly]

Yo my Canadian DUDE!!! thanks for the tips. Always helpful. Cheers, Steve TTF

[@m.h.quraishi285]

I really read that as Steve WTF. Sorry, I can't stop laughing while writing this🤣🤣🤣

[@thetalkingfly]

@@m.h.quraishi285 haha TTF is The Talking Fly thanks for the comment friend!

[@ricardjorg]

Another useful one is just clicking once on the name of property you want to tweak (exposure, shadows, contrast, white balance, etc) and then using the + and - keys to increase or decrease the value, instead of dragging the slider with the mouse

[@BilboSwagginsTheThird]

Came down to say the same thing, and it also works with left and right arrow keys

[@local9]

You can also use an addon to change how much it tweaks by also, I think there is a step key to change if its 0.5 or 1 as a step but can be edited to run 0.10 or o.25 etc

[@blindsquirrel3123]

Your tutorials are incredible. Heart felt thank you for the efforts and sharing your knowledge.

[@RealtorRod64]

Sweet, I've used Lightroom for years but that radial brush tip was excellent.

[@juanquispe3494]

I became a criminal because of the beginning of the video. Thanks Peter!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Ten seconds in, I'm out of here.

[@yadilove13]

Idk if this is bad, but sometimes my eyes get overwhelmed and I can’t tell how I edited so I leave it and come back to it later.

[@AbhijeetAdhalikar]

It's not bad at all. I do it all the time. After taking a break one gets a better understanding of what needs to be kept/removed from the final edit. Glad to know I am not the only one though! :-D

[@jimmoran7365]

Watched this three times...this guy is GOOOOD! So much time saved. Thank you.

[@CarstenRinge]

Clippiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

[@wassup9hiya]

I was literally editing my photos of moraine lake and came across this video where you use a photo of moraine lake as an example hahahaha

[@JomalynYao]

Ohhh my gosh! Mindblowing for a starter like me!

[@Djohno2701]

It's no wonder you have so many subscribers. Very charismatic guy, and easy to understand and follow videos! My favourite channel on KZbin!

[@kaysha]

The simple small features that make a program amazing. Great tips. ✊🏾 Now how you did the card trick?

[@kaysha]

Alphabstract 😊

A bit late but put the video on 0.25 speed and you will see that he is just flipping them ;)

[@harshitvardhan3655]

Hey Peter, you are the one who inspired me, not even me but at length every beginner photographer. I love yr youtube videos and especially the ones in which you edit others pictures. Even inspired from you I have started my yt channel. Keep up your good work and I hope you become the source of inspiration for others also.

[@assassinsyndicate1389]

"sliding things around and having a grand 'ol time" I feel personally attacked

[@micahfoordphotography3206]

This got a like purely for the lock picking. Awesome. Lightroom stuff was ok too...

[@adam_g.]

Micah Foordphotography are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@kylematthiesen410]

Hey Peter, awesome video as always. I was curious if you're still using classic or if you've made the switch. Your content is extremely helpful and enjoyable, thank you sir.

[@danielwinsor6018]

Dude. Been using Lightroom for a solid four years, 9/10 of these were new to me. Thank you.

[@ChrisRamsay52]

This video was so helpful loll holy cow!

[@MaxXLR8er]

A tip I enjoy using is clicking on a slider and using the up and down scroll on my mouse to get more precise number. This is most useful with exposure since the slider is very sensitive.

[@AnishJohnThomas]

Seeing u pick a lock as easy as that...I wonder what u r not good at..?!

[@samaxeman123]

The Toys Are Not Enough exercise

[@adam_g.]

Master locks are really easy to pick. He's obviously a beginner judging by his set, which was cheap and didn't even have handles.

[@AnishJohnThomas]

Adam G Maybe u r right...maybe not. Just like I'm impressed with his card tricks...I'm impressed with his lock trick too. I don't care if there's a logic or a way to do his magic...right now I only care if for that moment did it make me say "Wow..!" Pro Tip : Even Houdini had a way to do his 'Magic' ...it was not really 'Magic' Magic..!!!

[@adam_g.]

The Toys Are Not Enough it's pointless to compare magic and this. If you are, let's say this is like locking someone in handcuffs and giving them a key, and calling it magic when they open them. I'm absolutely right, not all locks are this easy to open, he's a complete beginner if he thinks any masterlock is hard. He's just trying to fool you all.

[@AnishJohnThomas]

Adam G I was not saying that his Lock trick is magic. Lemme try my best to make it clear to to you what I think. Magic is never really a Magic...it's a trick, that's performed well, that make us say "Wow". I don't know to pick a lock...and I was impressed with his skill. Impressed with...his crazy narrations, awesome photography skills, card tricks, lock trick, etc etc. Hopefully one day I'll be able to stand in front of a camera and talk just like him...because my inner self is just like the way he talks in front of the camera. (Won't be able to do in English...most probably...maybe in my language). But I'll definitely...100%...start with "bbwhaaatsupp everybody..?!"

[@evergreen_kate]

Hahahaha, "Adobe Sensei" XD Love it.

[@christinahenderson6306]

wow... why am I going to bed with a huge smile on my face. Love love loved this tutorial. Must watch them all. Sick presentation.

[@markjg76]

I new like 60% of these tricks but what a great refresher thanks man for help breathing new life into this rust old Lr user bag of tricks.

[@AWildPotato-kp6ub]

>2 minute Tuesday >video is 15+ minutes long worth it

[@JasonRiveraLongshotProductions]

Which is why the 2 minute is crossed out with Tutorial above it in the intro.

[@arvinsolid2977]

very niceee tutorial peter, hope to see you once in real life

[@Misskokolib]

Hi Peter! I've found your tutorials really helpful in my work. But I was wondering if you had any knowledge of Lightroom to flickr exports. Especially, adding images to Flickr groups within Lightroom? Cheers, keep up the amazing work!

[@reydelpanopio4556]

TNice tutorials is by far, the best tutorial I have found so far. I feel like I’ll be spending a lot of ti on your channel! Thanks man! Keep up the good

Seriously amazing photographer amazing card tricks and you can pick locks your so talented ... 😂

In a time of covid you are a fresh glass of water, keep up the tutorials at all costs.
